Persuasive Speech On Superbowl
It is Superbowl Sunday. You have family and friends over to watch the game. The room fills with the aroma of pizza, wings, and nachos. You hear the sounds of laughter and talking; that all stops instantaneously; as the quarterback receives the ball and gets tackled,he does not get back up.

The NFL tried to bully Omalu into retracting his evidence of CTE in football players saying it was flawed but Omalu received support from Dr. Julian Bailes, chairman of neurosurgery at the West Virginia University School of Medicine and a former team physician for the Steelers (Bennet Omalu). After decades of denial things finally changed March 13. NFL finally admitted that they believed football had a link to CTE (NFL Finally Admits There’s A Link Between Football Injuries And CTE). The NFL obviously has no respect for their players and when they withheld the CTE information from their players, it makes you think what else are they
